Any way the wind blows


Brilliant, through to the very last second. The Muppets do Bohemian Rhapsody.

Punch it

Now, I'm not sure if this is real or not, but according to this page, Muji and Lego have a joint venture under way. You use a hole punch to clip out Lego-sized holes in paper, and attach them to the original plastic blocks.

The original source is apparently from Muji's website. In Japanese. Naturally enough.

Boots made for walking


According to the never-disappointing Gadget Show, officially the best walking boots you can get are these. (Watch the video - how much do we love Brian Blessed? - or see the comments on the review as people try to track down just where they can be bought.)

All in one place

Quite liking this simple page from the Guardian. Headlines from every story they've published today.

Just what does the Digital Economy Bill say about radio?

I've chased all the links down, so you don't have to.

The Bill itself tells you which words will be changed in the current legislation. What it all means is here (with previous and later pages covering other parts of the Bill).

After the Wall


Brilliant use of pictures and Flash from the New York Times - see how Berlin has changed in the years since the wall came down. Click and drag across each photo to reveal more or less of the historic picture compared to the current scene.

Based on Tokyo's finest


Is it wrong that I can't wait to use this? Even though I can't imagine the need to go diagonally?

I might have to take the wrong tube exit for John Lewis just to try it.

Or spend all evening in All Bar One some time.
